F/A-18E VFA-143 1:72


Recommended Posts

Hello Britmodellers!

This is my Academy Super Hornet in scale 1:72. Finished it in December. Super model. Decals from Kit (Cartograf). Plane of CAG Fredrick "Lucky" Luchtman in appearance of 2014.

Then Captain Luchtman is now Rear Admiral U.S. Navy. There is some Revell and Hasegawa DNA together with Aires and more homemade upgrades

Cheers,

Tom

superb - I have one of the new 1/72 F-4J kits from academy in the queue - these kits are very well engineered, but you seem to have delivered a real stunner there.

 

Thanks for posting

Hello Tom,

 

congratulations! That looks stunning! 

 

From the first picture it looks as if the windows/grills in the long door of the front gear are transparent - as in the real one ... Did you cut them out?

 

Cheers,

Holger
